i've listened to a lot of the debates, and not necessarily the debates between romney and obama, but debates with people and it seems like the camps are split. i just want someone to grab hold of the reins and make this company -- or make this country and this company all it can be. >> you came to new york, with $150. bought 20 pairs of bell bottom jeans and sold in your small town and off went the hilfiger empire. do you think you could still do that today? >> i think a lot of people are doing that. maybe not with $150, but people are starting small businesses and growing them. there are lots of examples now, and it's not only in america, but worldwide. so i think if you have a desire and where there is a will, there is a way. you need a dream, you need to build a great product and have a very specific roadmap. >> one of the great fashion icons of my lifetime in my studio and not get a fashion verdict on great political leaders. barack obama first. a little picture there. what is your view? >> he is much better off in a suit than -- than colored trousers or chino trousers. >> this i

romney is running out of time like routine things like the debate. bill clinton told me that the debates are going to be crucial for romney. the first debate if he can turn around the 47% fiasco. it could be a disaster. the impression he gave that comes with being a wealthy detached guy not caring about people who need help. what would you recommend he do? >> i think the 47% comment revealed, he wasn't doing what you should do play to the center. he has written off peak who have the median income and below. the text book strategy is can you find a way. he is not taughting out ideology saying i can be a reasonable manager. that was his message at first sand he is trying to find different approaches which is what you do when you are losing and he should have stuck to the message he had all along instead of trying to pick paul ryan and we are going to have a discussion about the issues. >> marco rubio, you get a sense with paul ryan, that is not giving him a new air of voters coming in. they had barack obama. >> the book is fascinating. there are two ca

mitt romney? >> that's not the issue, to me. i think he will -- i think he's principled in the sense that he will keep the commitments that he has made. almost all people when they run for president make a number of commitments. when they get elected, almost all presidents since modern studies have been done, the last seven or eight presidents, make an exceptional effort to do what they said they were going to do. when there's an exception to that, there's normally an overwhelming reason. abraham lincoln promised not to free the slaves. we're glad he didn't. reagan promised to balance the budget. we're glad he didn't try. almost every other president may have one smaller issue. but, by and large, they all do what they said they were going to do. yes, i think we should assume that he will be principled on that. he know what is he promised to do in the primary. and what he said in the general has been consistent with that. we should assume that is what he would do. >> under normal circumstances, the incumbent president with 8.2% u

, for mitt romney? >> this is absolutely make or break week. it's not just from the convention. we still don't know what the ripple effects of that 47% gaffe or whatever you want to call that, i don't call it a gaffe, maybe he's speaking from heart, i don't know what it is, but we don't know how that will ripple through polling and public opinion over the next couple weeks. so even if you take out some of the polls on the margins, the lower ones and the high ones, just take all this in aggregate, what you do see is a building of momentum and a widening of the gap. whether you think the gap is small or large at this point, it is about direction, the slope of the line, and that is what should keep mitt romney up at night. that really puts the onus on what happens in the debates and i don't believe that at this point in the game, that romney can do something on his own that will change the course of this race. you basically need obama to make a big mistake, which at this point in the race, what you need is

>> well, i think, you know, the debates are very important for him. >> crucial? >> i think so. and i think if he's going to double down on that 47% remark, that will cause difficulties because we now know that the overwhelming number of those people work and have children, and the reason they don't pay federal income taxes is their median income is as low as it was in 1995 now, and until the current election season, republicans and democrats supported both the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit. i would double the earned income tax credit but it was signed under a republican president, reagan supported it, and we started the child tax credit with the strong support of the republicans in congress, and president bush doubled that, then president obama and the democratic congress increased the earned income tax credit for families of more than three children. so you had -- this is a rejection of basically more than three decades of bipartisan policy to support working family. it's not a bunch of freeloaders. there are only a little less than 4% of the total populati
